Missouri Woman Wins $100,000 with Gifted Lottery Ticket!

Missouri Woman Wins $100,000 with Gifted Lottery Ticket!

Virginia Watson, from Linn Creek in Missouri never expected, or believed that she could win the lottery, especially not $100,000. Watson was actually gifted her winning ticket, which was a “Money Tree” Missouri Lottery scratchers and explained how she’s pretty bad at checking the tickets, and recognising whether they are or aren’t winners. So, she’s made her own little strategy which involves setting the tickets aside, and always double-checking so she doesn’t miss anything. This occasion was no different, as she was going through her pile a second time when she said “Oh, my gosh! I think I won $100,000, $100,000” repeating the amount over and over, to try and make sense of reality. Soon after, she went straight to a retailer to have the ticket scanned, and once confirmed, there was lots of visible happiness.

New York Man Comes Forward as $298M Powerball winner

David Johnson, 56 who is a trucker driver from Brooklyn is ready to live his best life after finding out he is the winner of the second-biggest jackpot won in New York with Powerball. Johnson’s prize amount was an insane $298.3 million, he bought the winning ticket from a store located opposite his workplace which was Arnold’s Service Station on Linden Boulevard for just $5, before going back to work and not checking it. It wasn’t until a friend who he worked with, rang him and said “Hey Dave! Somebody won the Powerball by the gas station”. He still didn’t think anything of it, and didn’t think that there could even be a possibility that he was the winner as he’s never really experienced good luck in his life. Luckily (ironically), his friend phoned him again, begging him to check his ticket and finally a couple of days later, he checked and realised he’d won on his journey to work.

On the journey her husband purchased a few tickets for her and they actually won some money. So, they thought, why not take their chances and use the small winnings to buy some more lottery tickets to try their luck? I’m sure they don’t regret that decision now, as Amy scratched off the ticket whilst her husband drove and she said she almost fell out of her car seat when she saw all the matching words on the scratch card.
